Take-Two Interactive Reiterates Fall 2025 Release Window for Grand Theft Auto 6
Despite industry speculation, Take-Two Interactive, Rockstar Games' parent company, maintains its projected fall 2025 release date for Grand Theft Auto 6 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This confirmation came during their third-quarter financial report (ending December 31, 2024).
While acknowledging the inherent risk of delays, Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick expressed confidence in the fall 2025 timeframe, stating that the company feels "really good about it." He emphasized Rockstar's dedication to quality, highlighting their pursuit of "perfection" and the intense anticipation surrounding the game's launch. Zelnick remained tight-lipped regarding specific development details.
The GTA 6 release date continues to dominate industry conversations. The game's immense potential impact is evident in comments from competitors, such as EA CEO Andrew Wilson's suggestion of delaying the next Battlefield installment if necessary to avoid clashing with GTA 6's release.
The highly anticipated second trailer for GTA 6 remains unreleased, fueling fan speculation more than a year after the first trailer. Other points of ongoing discussion include the game's potential PC release and its performance on a hypothetical PS5 Pro console.
